I appreciate McCain's candor compared to the phoniness that comes from almost every other politician - especially Romney - and even though I disagree with his stance on many things, knowing (well, thinking) that he will say what's on his mind is his appeal to me. I'm rooting for him.

alright Dray - now you have me confused. If you are a Libertarian - as am I - then you must know they are the far right - by definition. Libertarians are much further right than republicans. Maybe you are making the mistake of labeling a Christian as being "far right" as the media and the left often try and do? Maybe religious people are listed as far right because of their morals, but arent left/right descriptions usually based more on economics than morals?

As far as Huckabee is concerned, I wont vote for him either, but its because of his stances. He's pretty far to the left on a number of issues.

The terms Left & Right are not usually used to describe economic stances more than social stances. And currently it is quite the opposite. I think most people right now would associate the left with socially progressive and the right with socially conservative. This is not a mistake by the media since these terms are not absolute. The reason people don't call Libertarians far right is because it would be misleading.

Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey
